I did not expect to like this as much as I did! But I ended up pleasantly surprised! A great combination of history, action, and angst. I enjoyed Selene as a main character - she was compassionate, lovely, fierce, and loving. The author did a great job of making me feel like I was learning about ancient Egypt and the intricacies of Rome. If all Historical Fiction were written like this, I would read it from any era. I highly recommend this, even if some bits of it were predictable!

Originally posted on Creative Madness Mama. The marriage of Marc Antony and Cleopatra is one of the greatest love stories of all time, a tale of unbridled passion with earth-shaking political consequences. Feared and hunted by the powers in Rome, the lovers choose to die by their own hands as the triumphant armies of Antonys revengeful rival, Octavian, sweep into Egypt. Their three orphaned children are taken in chains to Rome; only two the ten-year-old twins Selene and Alexandersurvive the

I went into CLEOPATRA'S DAUGHTER with almost no idea at all about her children by Marc Antony. This isn't to say I had no idea who they were, but I didn't know their fates beyond that they didn't die with Cleopatra. Moran is careful to note any historical changes she made in the Historical Notes section, although she stayed as true to what is factually known as possible, in as much as possible.There are smaller details that are interesting and noteworthysuch as Livia's (Octavian's obsequious,

Still young they have to worry what happens when they reach the age of 15 and become a possible threat to the stability of Rome. Can they curry the favor of the imperial family and their lackeys or will they face execution in later years?This tale is told from the perspective of Selene, a child when captured who has to come with terms that her Egyptian life

I really enjoyed this. Selene was a fantastic narrator, and the story was beautifully written. The pacing was perfect, in my opinion. It was great getting to know all these characters. My historical fiction reading is generally limited to British, French, and German stories, so I went into this knowing little and expecting less. I'm glad I finally picked this up, though. It's definitely worth a read.

Many of us know the story of Cleopatra, the beautiful and famed Egyptian queen who wedded Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony and who killed herself after Octavian conquered Egypt. But how many know what happened to her children? Cleopatra's Daughter (ironic, really, that the story persists in snobbishly spelling her name Kleopatra when the title spells it with a C) tells the story of Kleopatra Selene, Cleopatra's daughter who was brought to Rome in chains after her parents' defeat. The story follows
